New Delhi. India beat Nepal by 10 wickets in a one-sided performance in a rain-curtailed match. Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma, who came to open for India, both scored brilliant half-centuries and the opening pair took India to the threshold of victory. Please tell that Pakistan has already qualified for Super 4. The winner of this match will secure a place in the Super Four stage of the tournament. India won the toss and decided to bowl first, but after the toss it started raining on the ground.
In this match, like the India vs Pakistan match, we got a long break – about two hours – but we are still here. The ground staff did excellent work. Well, India needs 128 more runs in 125 balls and 10 wickets are left.
Nepal has given India a target of 231 runs. Sompal and Asif showed stormy innings from Nepal, due to which this big score could be made against Team India.
Innings Break!
An impressive bowling performance from #TeamIndia

Play resumed after rain
The game has started once again after the rain. Till now Nepal’s batting has not been seen to perform much. The dominance of Indian bowlers has been visible. Ravindra Jadeja has taken the most wickets for India in this match. At present Nepal’s score is 6 wickets for 189 runs.
Kushal Bhurtel performed brilliantly today, scoring a quickfire inning of 38 runs in just 25 balls against a strong Indian bowling attack. He hit 3 fours and 2 sixes, which gave his team a great start in the match! Shardul Thakur made him walk.
India won the toss, decided to bowl first
Earlier on Saturday, rain had disrupted the much-awaited cricket match between India and Pakistan. India won the toss and chose to bat first and managed to put a total of 266 runs on the scoreboard. India’s top order struggled against the pace bowling of Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf and lost four wickets for just 66 runs. However, a 138-run partnership between Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya revived India’s innings, although both fell short of reaching a century. But despite this, Team India managed to score 266 runs. But rain ultimately spoiled the entire game and not a single ball could be bowled in the second innings.
Hope rain does not interfere in this match.
